	For Each Can
	Cut a 12-16 inch length of ribbon for hanger. Make a loop and glue loose ends together at center back of can.
	Measure circumference of can, add 1-inch for overlapping, and cut a wider ribbon style this length. Place glue on back of ribbon and wrap around center of can, overlapping ends at center back of can. For a more finished look, fold ends under 1/2-inch and glue in place.
	Glue thinner ribbons over wider ribbons or slightly overlap edges of ribbons for added interest. If desired, wrap ribbon around can and knot or tie a bow in front.
	Cut floral foam to fit inside can and glue in place. Use wire cutters to cut silk flowers apart and insert into foam as desired.
